Cycled up from Tolvah, and after Sron Direachain got to within 400m of this top using the bike, although roads were not as map. Many new saplings planted on the lower slopes, but won't be a problem for many years. Then on to Sron na h-Iolaire.NormanW18/04/2023

Two day backpack from Auchlean: Carn Dearg Mor - Meallach Mhor - camp near 800886 - Leathad an Taobhain - Beinn Bhreac - Carn Ealar - long walk out down Glen Feshiedavidpettit8418/07/2019
From Ruigh-aiteachain bothy, on way out to Kingussie. Relatively easy ford of the Feshie then good tracks all of the way.Colin Crawford26/02/2019
First summit on a visit to the 'Carn Deargs', walking all the way from the Achlean parking via Slochd Mor. The hill tracks make for fast walking but the narrow, impressive defile of Sloch Mor has lost wildness with the track filling the narrow valley floor in places.pwheeler18/07/2018

A glorious sunny day with a cool breeze. By bike to just past Bhran Cottage. Up Meallach Mhor starting up the Allt an Tulaich on a short ATV track, then easy going to the top. Over Meall an Dubh-cadha on a faint path, and then an ATV track to the bealach. Up rough stuff to Sgor Dearg, and easy short heather over Carn Dearg (there's an ATV track too). Ghastly track to Carn Dearg Mor, but nothing can spoil the view from the top. Down the track, then to the Allt Bhran. The path shown on the map is an OS fantasy, but it's a lovely walk down all the same. More pleasant to cross the river to the landrover track for the last part.Gill05/05/2017
Small cairn is the highest point. Good walking along summit ridge, path just visible in the dark.alda07/09/2016

On way back to Achlean from Taobhain.Aye Jimmy29/08/1998
Solo. From Achlean in Glen Feshie. Round of four Corbetts and a few other tops. There was good weather throughout with some mist. From summit of Meallach Mhòr to Meall an Dubh-chadha, Carn Dearg and Carn Dearg Mòr. Then back to Achlean arriving at ca 11.30pm. I drove back to Stonehaven via the Lecht. Saw a meteorite, about the same angular size as the moon, green, to NE. It was a very exciting observation. There were a few reports in newspapers about it.pwbellarby20/05/1995
